The tannic acid of the tea-bag is a mild coagulant so it stops bleeding and is slightly astringent and it is also slightly bactericidal. The 'hot pink' is probably erythromycin...an antibiotic, the other is probably a pain reliever. I am sure your oral surgeon would have explained all of this, if you had asked.

It's normal to have some bleeding for 1-2 days after extractions. Avoid hot foods as this can possibly dissolve the clot and cause a dry socket which is extremely painful. Also refrain from spitting.

If bleeding persists after a few hours, a moistened teabag placed between the wounds can help. Tannic acid in the tea will help stop any bleeding.

I'm not sure why either. Probably have to do with what's in the leaves. Heard that tabacco will stop bleeding from cuts fast also. But I would just keep biting on the little cotton rolls and take the meds that your dentist prescribed. You'll be fine.

Chemical compounds in the tea leaves constrict the blood vessels and slow or stop the bleeding.

The tannic acid in the tea helps the blood to clot.

HELLO,
AS SEVERAL PEOPLE CORRECTLY WROTE, A COLD TEABAG CONTAINS TANNINS AND THESE SERVE AS MILD COAGULANTS THAT HAVE BEEN USED FOR GENERATIONS FOR AREAS WHERE CONTROL OF BLEEDING WAS NECESSARY.

It forms a small blood clot.
